Others, however, are searching for a slightly more offbeat way to cool off: swimming holes.

Swimming holes offer exhilarating swims and stunning views, and while they might not be the number one destination on everyone's list, according to Pinterest people are searching for them more than ever before. In fact, searches for swimming holes are up 183% from last year, meaning that these hidden gems might not be hidden for much longer.

Here are 18 amazing swimming holes that you'll be dying to dive into this summer.

This natural infinity pool sits on the edge of Victoria Falls, one of the world's largest waterfalls. You can only swim in it from mid-August to mid-January, when the water level is lowest.

After a rocky hike to the pool, thrill-seekers can jump in, and swim up right to the edge of the crashing falls, where a rock border has formed over several years.

These stunning pools have been formed by the Havasu Falls, and are a popular spot for cliff jumping. The crystal blue waters can be found deep in the Grand Canyon, and can only be reached via a long, treacherous hike.

Giola Pool— Astris, Greece

This natural swimming hole on the island of Thassos is inches away from the Aegean Sea, separated only by a small rock wall. The water inside the hole is much warmer than the ocean, as well as clearer. People love jumping into it from its short, overhanging cliffs.

In the middle of a lava field and formed by an ancient lava eruption, this might be world's most stunning pool. However, anyone with a fear of heights might want to steer clear: the only way in is via a steep, rickety-looking ladder — or by jumping.

Now this is a sinkhole that we can get behind. Inside a hollow section of limestone, this sinkhole boasts extremely clear water, which, thanks to its close proximity to the ocean, is saltwater, and even home to a few fish.

Hamilton Pool Preserve — Dripping Springs, Texas, US

Hamilton Pool is one of the most well-known swimming holes in America. It's only 23 miles from Austin, making it a perfect summer getaway for locals as well as visitors. Part of the pool lies under a cavernous roof from which small waterfalls sometimes create a picturesque curtain.

Ik Kil Cenote — Chichen Itza, Mexico

This cenote is one of many underground pools surrounding the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza. After long, hot tours, visitors flock to Ik Kil, which is 90 feet below ground, for a refreshing swim in its natural waters. It does get pretty crowded in the afternoons, but only because it's the prettiest cenote in the area.

Turner Falls — Davis, Oklahoma

There's a large natural swimming pool right below Turner Falls, the largest waterfall in Oklahoma at 77 feet. People can hike and camp in the area all year long, but the pool is at its warmest — and most crowded — during the dog days of summer.

Gunlom Waterfall Creek — Kakadu National Park, Australia

The natural infinity pool you'll find at Gunlom Waterfall Creek is worth the short but steep hike up there. The edge of the pool offers up views of Australia's vast landscape, and is a refreshing dip for anyone battling the area's dry heat.
